My First 5K - Today

I know, I should wait and put up pictures of the whole thing, not sure I'll have pictures though. Just wanted to say - either I've decided or my default choice is to run a 5K today (feels like an active use of agency, not what I would normally or easily choose).

This morning.

In about an hour.

Hope I get a shirt still - only the first 250 get one. Maybe I should leave now.

It's going to be a beautiful day, ladies and gentlemen. Mark my word.

**UPDATE I can't say that I've RUN a 5K, but I have DONE a 5K - lucky number 478 (that's me) finished in 37:02 (my personal best) and there were HILLS. Oh, the hilliness of it all.

Hey, look at me, I'm a 5K runner. Think I can do a 10K by the end of the summer?????

Yeah, I'd much rather run here in the flatlands, if the ravenous wolves were making me run 5K at all.

Congratulations, and once you get the first 5K out of the way, I'm sure 10K will come easier than this one did.

Just keep running and don't look over your shoulder or past the horizon.
